I've spent the last ten years working in women's fashion design and became obsessed with children's patterns last year when I was pregnant with my daughter. I made so many beautiful and creative outfits for her that I thought I'd like to share some of them with you.

All my patterns are loaded with easy to understand colored photos and come with multi-sized patterns which are easy to print on your home computer.

Maisie Girls Cape Jacket Costume Pattern

Pattern Description:

The Little Red Riding Hood Cape is an easy to make reversible cape suitable for the beginner sewer.

Cozy , comfortable and eye catching, it is a cute addition for any little girls wardrobe.

Your PDF tutorial includes all the patterns and instructions you need to complete the cape and appliqu. If you have never sewn a felt applique before you really should try it. Felt can be straight stitched around and is very forgiving of crooked sewing.

This cape could be made from a multitude of fabrics. If you are looking for something warm and cozy for Winter you could use velvet, polar fleece, wool or wool-blend and line it with colorful cottons. For a light summer cape you could use light or medium weight cottons.

Once you have ordered you will receive a PDF eBook with easy to follow instructions which include color photos with step by step instructions. It will also include a full sized pattern including all pieces which will print on your regular home computer on either letter or A4 paper. All the measurements and instructions in my patterns are in both metric and imperial so you don't need to worry about conversions no matter where you live.

All my patterns can be made with or without a serger and are designed for sewers who do not have much experience.

Items made using the patterns in my eBooks may be used for personal use only at this stage. If you do wish to sell items made with my patterns please email me at mychildhoodtreasures@gmail.com so we can discuss it further.

Maisie Cape for 11 month old November 5, 2012

e-beth

My daughter needed a costume for her first Halloween and I decided on Little Red Riding Hood on the basis that it would be simple and she could wear the cape during the (mild) winter. I had some difficulty finding a "real" cape pattern (as opposed to one just for, say, a vampire costume) for children, so I looked on etsy and found the Maisie Cape pattern. It was exactly what I wanted.

The cape was quite easy to make, with only a couple of seams. The directions were clear and easy ...

The cape was quite easy to make, with only a couple of seams. The directions were clear and easy to follow. I have two minor issues with the pattern. One is that it doesn't show a cutting layout for napped fabric. The second is that, while I'm sure that having a velcro closure makes it very easy for somewhat older children to put the cape on and off by themselves, my daughter views velcro closures as just something that makes an interesting noise when she unfastens her shoes or clothes. I put in a button instead, though I'm not sure I like it.
